>>total indifference to anything not politically correct.

Worse than that. DC puts more effort into Suicide Squad than Justice League. Joker and Harley Quinn (two psychopathic killers) appeal to Millennials more than heroes.

Add that to Batman being somewhat insane now and actually weakening Superman enough so he could be killed by Doomsday in the last movie and fans of actual super-HEROES are left in the cold. I’ll watch JL(without the A) on PPV in a few months.

I read comics until the Death of Superman storyline in the mid-90s.

That has always bothered me. I can understand evil characters being popular in terms that they deliver good story for the protagonist, but Harley Quinn has her own series and has become one of DC's marquee characters in terms of merchandising. A nutbag killer!

It bothered me a couple of months ago when I was inside a restaurant waiting for a take-out order. I was waiting next to one of those "use the claw to grab the plush toy" games for kids. Inside were all kinds of stuffed animals and then I noted some DC characters. Wonder Woman, Supergirl...and Harley Quinn? Really?

I’m wondering when Time-Lies-Warner-DC is going to continue going down this hole and give Supes and Batguy face tattoos, shiny grillz, and an emorap soundtrack by th’ late flash inna pan Lil Peep.
